Unusual Spin Exchanges Mediated by the Molecular Anion P<sub>2</sub>S<sub>6</sub><sup>4−</sup>: Theoretical Analyses of the Magnetic Ground States, Magnetic Anisotropy and Spin Exchanges of MPS<sub>3</sub> (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni)
We examined the magnetic ground states, the preferred spin orientations and the spin exchanges of four layered phases MPS<sub>3</sub> (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) by first principles density functional theory plus onsite repulsion (DFT + U) calculations. The magnetic ground states predicted for...
